Organizations

Connecting Interfaith Families to Jewish Life in Greater Cleveland by providing programs and opportunities for interfaith families to experience Judaism in a variety of venues, meet other interfaith families, and to connect to other Jewish organizations that may serve their needs.

For Program Providers

A great way for Jewish professionals and volunteers who work with and provide programming for people in interfaith relationships to locate resources and trainings to build more welcome into their Jewish communities; connect with and learn from each other; and publicize and enhance their programs and services.

So you got invited to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house for seder? Does that mean you should expect a ring?

In some families, bringing a boyfriend or girlfriend home for Passover indicates a strong level of commitment. In other families, holiday tables are open to everyone, and the more the merrier; your partner may not intend to signal anything by bringing you home.

You may not know until you get there – unless you ask. Because Passover is a family holiday with the same kind of family status as Thanksgiving or Christmas in Christian families, being a guest at their seder is a good opportunity for you to learn a lot about your partner's family and whether or not he or she brought you along to show that the relationship is serious.

The Guide to Passover for Interfaith Families is also available in PDF

Hebrew for "order," refers to the traditional course of events, or service, surrounding the Passover and Tu Bishvat meals.

We offer educational content; connections to welcoming organizations, professionals and programs; resources and trainings for organizations, clergy and other program providers; and our new InterfaithFamily/Your Community initiative providing coordinated comprehensive offerings in local communities.
